Holstein Housewares – Non-Stick Omelet & Frittata Maker, Stainless Metal – Makes 2 Particular person Parts Fast & Simple (2 Part, Black)

Where have you been all my life?!
Now that I have this in my life I simply won’t be able to live without it. I love omelets. As somebody that has no culinary skills this is the answer to my prayers. It’s so simple and makes great omelets. I’m on the keto diet so I use this at least twice a day. Just know that your omelets are going to be a bit different than what you get on a pan, the outside is going to be brown and the omelet is more “cake-like” than what you may be used to. Doesn’t bother me, still tastes delicious! This is for quick and easy omelets that are tasty, if you want diner quality you should probably go to a diner or get your pan out.It only takes me about 5 minutes to cook my omelets. I see others say 8-10 minutes but all I know is that for my grill, it’s perfectly done in about 5 minutes. But I do have my own strategy that I provide at the end of the review with tips.I want to add that I read a lot of reviews for this product since I wanted to be informed. Reading the negative reviews, it does seem that there may be some kind of inconsistency with the heating element for some people. I saw people complain about burnt eggs or it taking too long or a runny middle. I have none of those problems with my unit. If you are experiencing these problems you may want to return it or read my tips, they might help you.This is definitely something I would recommend to anybody that wants quick and easy eggs. However, if I could give it 4.5 stars instead of 5 I would, only because there is some room for improvement. For one, this thing gets real HOT. Do not touch the outside of this unit ever when it’s on or you will get burned. Keep anything away from it while it is in operation. Also there is no power button or switch so you have to plug it in every time. I use an extension cord, just makes it easier for me to do this. Also there isn’t a timer or anything, you just have to pay attention and figure out the timing on your own. Last, there does seem to be inconsistency for some people on how long it takes to cook the eggs, that makes it a bit harder to recommend to others not knowing what they might get.Now that said, let me get straight into the tips on how to make a good omelet with this maker!First- Use a jar to shake up the eggs and spices. Don’t add your ingredients in the jar, just the eggs, it just makes the shaking take longer. It’s a personal preference but why make more work than you have to by dirtying dishes? After you are done simply stick the jar in the fridge, or if you are done with the maker for a while, rinse it out and put it away.Second- Use 3 Eggs total for both sides AND use two tablespoons of water. Yes you read that right, WATER. Add the water to your jar when you are going to shake the eggs up. This is going to puff up your omelet real nice. Mix it all together in the jar.Third- With your grill already pre-heated, fill both sides of the grill with your mixed egg, BUT only about half way. Then add your ingredients directly into the eggs on the grill. Have your ingredients ready so you’re not wasting time while the eggs are cooking. You don’t want to overfill and this prevents that because you can stop adding ingredients if you are approaching the top of the fill line. If you have more room after adding ingredients, top off with the rest of the egg mix in your jar. Again, you can bring it right to the edge, just don’t go over it. Close the lid.Fourth- Wait for the grill lid to start rising. If you did it right you should see the lid rise slightly. For me this takes about 3 minutes. Once the lid has risen on its own a fair bit, pull up the lid all the way and poke a hole directly in the middle of both omelets. They should both look pretty big at this point. Just a slight hole with something like a knife. This helps cook the middle a bit better and doesn’t deflate the omelet. Place the lid back down.Fifth- At this point I usually just have to wait about 2-3 more minutes. I then remove the eggs with a rubber spatula and I get a perfect omelet every time!

Not bad for the price.
Works well. If you are using constantly I would spend for a more expensive one. After using for a few weeks, the surface begins to stain and stick much more than originally. It is like the non stick surface is wearing away. Otherwise, easy to use and quick omelets.

The Perfect Kitchen Addition!
I was loaned one of these by a coworker to try out, and I bought mine here on Amazon the same day that I used it for the first time!I’ve always been a fan of omelets, but making them? Not so much. I’m a horrible cook, and I can never seem to get them quite right. Enter, the Holstein Housewares Omelet Maker! This thing is amazing. It’s incredibly easy to use; plug it in, wait for the green light to come on, add your ingredients and close the lid, then wait patiently for about 7 minutes until your omelets are done!Each time, I get the perfect omelet. They’re cooked all the way through, with a slightly golden color on the outside, but nice and fluffy on the inside. Adding additional ingredients such as meat, cheese or vegetables requires you to adjust the cooking time, so you have to find a balance point so the insides are cooked, but the outsides don’t get overdone. Once you do, you can make some amazing omelets in this thing!Cleaning it is a cinch too. After you use it, and while it’s still hot, take a damp dishcloth and wipe it down. I don’t recommend using soap, and you definitely don’t want to submerge it in water. Just a nice wipe down and you’re fine.The best part of this contraption is that I’ve also used it to make pancakes, cheese biscuits, and even a brownie! I know that’s not what it’s made for, but hey; when you’re a Lazy Chef, you get creative! This is seriously an awesome product for the money, and a great addition to any kitchen.

I used this product to make two fantastic omelettes as soon as I got it. Very tasty. The product is very easy to clean, well made and I’m happy with the purchase.

This works great, very easy to use and the end result was a beautiful fluffy omlet on the very first attempt.The only thing I had in the fridge to add was some shredded cheese, but that worked great with 4 eggs and a little salt and pepper. I probably put a little too much cheese in (“too much”, is that even a thing?). I’m definitely going to try some of the other included recipes.A quick spray with some oil while it heated up and then once the green light came on I just poured the mixture in equally to both sides. Left it a couple of minutes then kept checking on it every 30 seconds and when the top looked cooked I took them out. The bottoms weren’t anymore overdone, so I wouldn’t bother with the flipping technique someone else mentioned (I was worried about how the top would cook, but it fluffed up to make contact with the top).Cleaning it was easy by wiping it down with a paper towel once it cooled down, and the cord wraps around the base for easy storage (it doesn’t take up much space).The steel top is a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but meh – that’s really “first world problem” nit-picking and nothing to worry about. So very happy with it, makes for a great breakfast.
